i unironically like daikatana in the same way as i like the star wars prequels: theyre poo poo and awful and i hate them but they're endlessly fun to study as creative trainwrecks. the world is richer for them existing.

It was really cool and good when the guy who wrote the Witcher books complained about the bad deal he got and all the video game fans talked poo poo about him.

this was a weird situation, because CDPR tried over and over to get him to take royalties or equity, and the author insisted on a flat payment. nonetheless, after W3 took off and the author wanted more, CDPR gave him some afaik undisclosed amount that left him happy. not the path I’d have expected the story to take!

CDPR is like one of the only game companies that seems legit nonshitty.

They even survived the social media/game review* astroturf war that was waged against them.
